A High School Teacher Played Blink-182's "I Miss You" For His Students And Their Responses Confirm That We Have Failed Our Youths, They Wouldn't Know Good Music To Save Their Lives, And The World Is Doomed

In an age where music is more accessible than ever, it's ironic that the richness of past musical eras seems to be fading into obscurity for the younger generation. Blink 182, a band that shaped the punk rock landscape of the late '90s and early 2000s, now appears to be a relic of the past, unknown to many teens and young adults. 

And let's not act like this is some swing band from the 1950's or some shit here. 

These guys owned the 1990s and 2000s. When most of these little fuckers were born. 

How ignorant do you have to be to be that out of touch with the music of your parent's generation? 

Maybe perhaps this is us, the parents faults after all? Maybe we're letting these punks listen to whatever drivel they want on tiktok and not educating them well enough? 

In all honesty, props to this public school teacher for trying to impart some actually useful knowledge on the young minds of today by playing them one of the better songs from our generation. I mean listen to this...

I will give credit where it's due, some of those responses forced me to crack a smile. (the cats one was good) So there's at least some humor there. But we are seriously fucking doomed in the future.

Is this how our parents generation felt/feels about us and our tastes or lack of? 

Do these kids not understand that calling an emo song by an emo band "emo" isn't a bad thing? That's what it fucking is numbskulls.

What does this generation throw on repeat when they’re dealing with breakups, getting dumped, or the girl of your dreams who doesn’t know your alive starting to date the starting QB? Or do kids today just not get their hearts broken? Is there just an endless supply of ass on the social apps, and shit they’re unfazed? 

I need answers.

p.s. - if you missed that "youths" reference in the blog title clean it the fuck up.
